You try to kill with temptation
Same thing I kill with my mind
You try to prove with provocation
Same hit I get by playing kind
You liked to drink your cure
I’d fake like I was pure,
but all the gifts got left behind
Your shame protected you
Self-hatred tamed me too
Oh, how it crushed how we’re designed

Running the hills, we don’t laugh or shout
If it’s joy, we say “leave us out,” but

I’ll dance if you’ll dance by starlight
I’ll dance if you’ll dance, alright?
I’ll dance if you’ll dance together some frail freedom’s waiting
So I’ll dance, if you’ll dance, tonight
Tonight

Been too depressed to swIng at all
I had no-one to show me how
You’d only jump when you would fall
You had no friend like you got now
We felt no family
But now there’s you and me
Making our own way to live
Maybe your tears don’t lie
No dirt is in your eye
We’ve got so much life to give

We might be curséd, and never cry
But you’re my person, so please let’s try, and

I’ll dance if you’ll dance by starlight
I’ll dance if you’ll dance, alright?
I’ll dance if you’ll dance together some frail freedom’s waiting
So I’ll dance, if you’ll dance, tonight
Tonight

I’ll dance if you’ll dance by starlight
I’ll dance if you’ll dance, alright?
I’ll dance if we can dance together while there’s no-one grading
So I’ll dance if you’ll dance, tonight
Tonight
